Honesty I ns esientlal In mMnlaln
lug the credit of a rlty a It is for the
Individual. The payment of a leifnl
debt under compulsion of law I not
honeely, nor I It an evidence or hnttenty
tbftt n collectible debt I paid without
compulsion.
An Imtieet man abide by hi neree
inent, be they verbal or written; he
they made under a legally binding con'
tract or be they made under it mlaflpnre
benslnn of the law. What I trtle of an
honest innit I true of an honeet city.
Any mnn who refuse to keep lit enn
tracts except when multiplied by law
Is dishonest. Any man who ndvlsea the
city to repudiate her contracts be.
cause they nr found to be made with
a loophole I dishonest.
The contract for the snlo of the water
work bonds was matin by n committee
appointed by the city council. The
bonds were offered for sale nmt bids
were asked for. Legal obstacles were
found by all the bond buyers exeept
one firm. That linn made a thorough
examination and on the strength of the
facts shown made such a bid a It
thought It was Justified In offering. No
other bond buying firm would touch the
bonds at nuy price.
Th city gnve the friendly firm an
option on the bonds and then all the
legal reijuliements were compiled with
and the bonds Were placed above jhh
plclnn or reproach. Now comes a llrm
which refused to touch the bonds while
tho wnler woiks wns besmirching the
city's name, and makes an offer that is
Intended to dazxle the eyes of the men
who have the power to stop the sale.
Hut there Is a string to the otter. Tho
famous J.'iO.OOO forfeit Is not a draft but
Is a plain check made payable when?
After the attorneys of the bidding llrm
say that the bonds are good and legal.
And yet men who prate about their
honesty decline that the city should at
once repudiate Its contract and snap at
the tempting bait offered by Harris
and company.
If a man were to give an option on
a piece of property and then go back
on his word when property b-gan to
rise would he he considered honorable
or honest'.' If a man advises n city to
go back on Its option and enter into a
speculation Is he honorable or honest?
Does ho work for the best interests of
his constltuants'.'
Tho reopening of tho bids Is specula
tion, pure and simple. 5ut Hint is not
the worst of It. This glittering bait Is
not honest bait. It Is like the hogus lly
which tempts the trout. It does not
even give him a lasto of lly when he
gets it in his mouth. It Is water woiks
bait.
It Is a bait to give time to the water
works company. What Is llfty thousand
dollars to the water works company if
It caif continue to operate the works and
make one hundred thousand dollars n
month clear? There are ugly rumors
about certain city olllcials who aro
more Interested In the water works com
pany than In the city, and It must be
confessed that there are Indications
that a policy of delay seems to- have
been Inaugurated In order to benefit the
water Works company.
Let the city council, as the repte
senlatlve of Kansas City, stand llrm
for the honor of the city. Let It say to
the world that Kansas City Is honest
and never goes back on a contract. It
will then save the city's credit and keep
out of a trap.

Tho copious rainfall of the past two
weeks Is worth millions to the West. It
Is not only the benetlt to the growing
crops that counts but the d-structlon
of insect lire that multiplied so rapidly
during the prolonged drouth. Missouri.
Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma
have passed through a most trying
period. In the shortage of crops added
to the general business depression they
huve had a sorry experience In the pre
vailing agricultural discouragement.
The cattle ranges have shured in the
damage from drouth. Herds have been
depleted and much of the live stock sold
lias reached the ninrkot in a sorry con
dition: but from all quarters now come
cheering reports of tho transformation
caused by tho fnll of abundance of
water.
Tliere is not a fanner or a stock raiser
who has not been given fresh courage,
and not k-ut nniung the good result)
that will follow Immediately Is the sen
urn I restoration of conlldence that will
make Itself felt In all branches of trad ..
The drenching of the soil will not only
glvo life to the crops now growing, but
will roinovo it great element of danger to
those of next year.
With a succession of bountiful sea
sous and ii return of political lucidity on
the part of the people all traces of the
multiplied misfortunes of the past two
or three year will soon wholly disap
pear, and the wise man will put lilnm-lf
In shape to piollt from the return of
prosperity.
It is a good time to invest money,
It Is it favorable time to i-uy Jaud--either
farm property or town lots.
It 1 a oud time to build and a good
time to branch out In manufacturing.
There Is no better place to plant
money for safe Investment than hero in
tho great centril West, Tho capital of
all the region Is Kansas City, The Kod
things that better times has In store for
the ifardeu spot of the continent will bo
centra HutU here. An Increase In popula
tion is sun to come uloinr With the
restoration of complete cuiillileiice that
will warrant all the industrial and com
mercMl preparations that may be made
for It.
It U well to keep these things In mind,
aud they are good to talk about, but the
prime need is for evpryliody to go to

The city council made no mistake In
granting the extension franchise to the
MotroMltun railway. That organiza
tion lias done more for the ex
tension and development of Kanrt
City than any other one Interest, and It
Is lull right that the company should be
protected by the city In return.
The recent consolidation has placed
the street railway system of Kansas
City In position to make Interest on Its
Investment, which It has not done In
the past, and by granting an average
extension of six years to the life of ouch
franchise the city gives the company an
opportunity to obtain cheap money lo be
applied to Improvement of the plant.
The transfer system which was made
permanent by the ordinance Is of In
calculable value to the people of the
two cities and more than repays the
city for what was granted to the com
pany, and It Is to tin? credit of the
council that It did not permit Itself to
be swayed by the demagogic howl raised
by a chronic agitator and those who
believe In protecting home Interests will
till heartily lndoise the nctlon of that
body.

The benetlclnl work Inaugurated In
behalf of the colored people of the slate
In this city some time ago Is already
threatened by the fact that disgruntled
factions are at war with each other.
This Is the old mistake, which nullities
so much erfort for tho advancement of
good causes. It Is the mistake which
menaces all reforms from their incep
tion to the final accomplishment of
their mission, whenever the mistake Is
not fatal, as It often is. When so much
Is at stake, when the eyes of nil fair
minded men ate llxed with sympathetic
Interest upon the efforts of the colored
people of this state to elevate themselves
to a higher plane of usefulness socially,
morally and Intellectually, It Is un
fortunate that the selllshuess Of dis
satisfied leaders should be allowed to
Interfere with the good beginning which
has been made.
It rests with the rank and tile of the
rece whether they shall he torn into
opposing factions by following these so
c.illed leaders or whether they shall
Insist that the common good demands
the subordination of personal Interests.
Tor It will fall out with the colored
people, as it does with "white folks,"
that when they stand united and rel
egate the self-seekers to tho rear they
can succeed, but when they permit the
unscrupulous and ambitious to acquire
power at tho expense of the people's
good tho best directed efforts must fall.
It Is the fault of all good people that
bosses possess the power they do and
there Is no color line drawn In tho
operation of this rule. The colored peo
ple have a hard enough problem to solve
with united, harmonious and persistent
effort, without qunrrellng over who
shall be the leaders III tho work to bo
done.
The appearance of a number of ladies
among the delegates on the floor of the
league convention at Cleveland will bo a
novel and gratifying sight. There are
many thousands of earnest and en
thusiastic, women Republicans In the
country and It is high time they were
having some representation in the
party's councils. The convention will be
all the brighter and better fur their
presence.
Tho footpad who attempted lo bold
up two Kansas City policemen nt once
made a grave mistnko. It is exhibit

policeman, considering the amount of
booty at stake.

I am oposed to the unlimited coinage of

It. M. Johnson, of the Houston Dally
Post: The last national Democratic plat

parity of the two.
Jl. .1. Hearsey, of the Dally States, New

and ringing declaration in favor of the re
peal of the 10 per cent tax on state bank
Issues under proper safeguard.".

coinage at 1 to 1. The sentiment of my

J. 11. Macliowan, of the Chattanooga

" Knt J."
At n public mass meeting of the bus
iness men of l-'orl Smith, Atk., held Inst
Friday night, tesolutlnn were adopted
asking the Knlisn City, Pittsburg &
Otilf tnd the "Katy" roads to make
connections with their city. The spe
cific reason urged for this nctlon was
that the business men of that important
and growing city des'lre to have direct
communication with this city by rail.
The advantages of both cities by such
an arrangement nre set out and copies
of lite enmtnunirattmi sent to the of
ficers of the line to which the docu
ment Is addressed. A copy wns re
ceived In (his city yesterday nnd Is n
strung plea for the connection so much
desired by the people of bolh cities.
The document is us follows:
"lit accordance with the request of Mr.
Gentry, representative of the Kansas
City. Pittsburg & Cult railroad, we, the
business men of Fort Smith, In public
meeting assembled, represent that this
city, which In 1SS0 had only a little
upward of 3,000 population, but now has
upwards of lG.ooo. bus n larger Jobbing
business than any other city In our
state; that It lias sent out an average of
over twenty-live cnrloads of freight
every day, besides Incoming freight,
during tho past year; that Its manu
facturing nnd Jobbing business Is In
creasing rapidly, notwithstanding the
stringency of the times; Hint It Is the
center of n eonl Held extending seventy
live miles east, one hundred tulles west
nnd forty-live miles south: that In ad
dition to the five railroads now com
pleted, there nre eight others projected,
all having this city ns their objective
point; that according to olllclal tcports
there are twenty-live coal mines al
ready In operation In this county nlone,
to say nothing of those In Franklin,
Logan and Scott counties; that from
olllclal reports of the quartermaster
general ot the United States army, who
has tested the coals of the United States
and foreign countries, the coal ot this
country Is superior In heat making ca
pacity to any other In the world yet
tested'; that beginning twenty-live
miles south of this city is a belt of hard
wood and pine timber extending to Tex
as, which has no superior nn the
American continent; that the two tiers
of counties smith of the city, nnd be
tween here iilul Texarkana, have not
only co.il nnd timber, but Inexhaustible
beds ot manganese, magnetic Iron ore
and novactilltes which arc pronounced
the best In tho world, and which nre
sent nil over the world; an inexhaustible
cliff of slate, equal to the best known;
a large deposit of antimony, and four
kinds of mnrl, which fact say both
Professors Rranner and Hill, of the geo
logical survey, If properly utilized, will
be worth mote to Arkansas than all the
gold dug out of the earth has been
worth to California: that the agricul
tural capacity of these counties may be
estimated from the fact that besides
the sixtv or seventy thousand bales of
cotton handled in this city every yenr,
within the past three years tliere has
been a development of the Irish po
tato Industry which Is resulting In the
shipment of from twenty to fifty car
loads per day of the llrst crop, and it
Is estimated will result In the ship
ment of between live and eight hun
dred cm-loads dining the season, and
half as many nf the second crop. That
with a view of securing the advantages
of these vast resources, we will donate
terminal facilities, costing us at least
$7.i,noo, but which In our judgment will
he worth a million to n railroad com
pany, to the Kansas City. Pittsburg &
Gulf railroad, or the Missouri, Kansas ,t
Texas railroad, or to any other railroad
which will place this city at once on di
rect communication by a mnln lino with
these resources, and with Kansas City
within a reasonable time. Accordingly,
be it
"Resolved, That a copy of this propo
sition lie sent to the president of each
of the above named railroads, as well
as to the 'Frisco railroad and to Drcxel.

fetch shadows that look terribly llko wrin

her ihandsbiss that her ephemeral girlish

her she begJus to buy dotted nets.
At llrst the tulle is very line and the dots
far apart. That's the sort of a yell a

her best, discreetly resorting to a very
closely speckled affair on other days, when
her cheeks lark their accustomed color, or
